Josh Hart and the New York Knicks have agreed to push again Hart’s participant choice deadline from June 24 to June 29. That provides Hart 5 extra days to determine if he needs to choose up his $12.96 million choice for subsequent season or to enter unrestricted free company.

Hart and the Knicks might agree to increase his contract past subsequent season, if Hart picks up his choice. That will open up the $12.4 million Non-Taxpayer Mid-Degree Exception for New York.

The Knicks traded with the Portland Path Blazers to amass Hart forward of the 2023 commerce deadline. In 25 video games with New York, Hart averaged 10.2 factors, 7.0 rebounds and three.6 assists in half-hour per recreation off the bench. In his first playoff motion, Hart averaged 10.4 factors, 7.4 rebounds and began 5 of the Knicks 11 playoff video games.
